Introduction
A very short time ago, the general population didn’t even know what ‘microbiome’ was. It’s no coincidence that most of us were just as unaware of just how important our gut health was.
Sure, we had some understanding, or at least acknowledged, that our digestive system was necessary to our lives. But it is only recently that the public has started to become aware of just how critical the health of our gut is to our overall health and wellbeing.
And when we say ‘gut health’, what do we mean? It is not simply the wellbeing of the body parts that make up our digestive system. ‘Gut health’ is more about the trillions of microbes that live in our gut, rather than the actual gut itself.
These microbes are essential to our digestive process, including digestion, distribution and elimination.
This eBook explains what our ‘microbiota’ is, and what a huge influence it has on our health. It explains the signs of poor gut health, and how this can affect not only your general health, but specific areas that you may not have known could be influenced by it.
There are also chapters on very practical ways to improve your gut health, to help you live a healthier, happier and longer life.
